I caved

I’ve installed WPtouch on this blog now, to allow mobile users to get a properly formatted experience. I apologise for not doing this sooner. I think it looks awesome on my phone.

Exchange 2003 Fail Server

Holy hell, it’s hard to recover mail from an Exchange Server if you’ve lost your domain controller. But I’ve done it. Once again, I’m a legend. On Monday, a customer’s Windows 2003 Small Business Server went down due to a planned power outage. When it came back up again, the drives were corrupt. Their mostContinue reading Exchange 2003 Fail Server

Now it all makes sense

For a few days now, my Mac has been asking me to give permission to Google Chrome to use the passwords in my Keychain. I couldn’t figure it out until I realised Chrome was updated to 6.0.472.33 (beta, of course). Now it makes sense. Kudos to Google for keeping security in mind.

Why not to overthink a problem

I’ve recently become the proud owner of a 27″ iMac, with the i5 quad core processor and 8GB RAM. It’s faster than stink, and I love it. Unfortunately, my background does not permit me a full move to Mac OS X, because I have written several applications for Windows, and I must support SQL ServerContinue reading Why not to overthink a problem

Ok, I lied

So I lied. A few other things have happened in the last couple of months. I’ve released a third beta for ShutOff 2010, and new versions of the Password Generator 2010, Simple Lotto Number Generator 2010, and the ShutOff 20×0 registry cleaner. Simple HexConverter 2010 is also almost ready for release. Yes, I sold outContinue reading Ok, I lied

Still alive!

Not much to say. Sorry for my readers (all three of you). So much has happened, and yet not much has happened. It’s the same as when you catch up with an old friend and find out that apart from that big piece of news, they are the same person. So for the record, ourContinue reading Still alive!

O Canada

I’m writing this in our new home of Lloydminster, on the border of Alberta and Saskatchewan. Facebook friends have seen photos and read updates, but I haven’t had the time to actually write up something here. Also, I forgot that I have this blog … So, Canada. Why Lloydminster of all places? What about Vancouver?Continue reading O Canada
